Chapter 775 Rain

This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml

Konoha is in jubilant mood.

Because today is the day when the Konoha’s army returns.

It's just that some people are happy and others are worried. When they come back alive, their families are naturally rejoicing.

But if there is only corpse left, or if there is no corpse at all, the family's mood will naturally not be very happy.

Returning from the battlefield is such two extremes.

Weeping with joy, or collapsed with grief.

This is war.

Life still has to go on, and this emotion will gradually pass and disappeared.

It's just that there are a lot of names added on the Memorial Stone.

The grand funeral is held three days later, and the Shinobi who died in the Fourth Shinobi World War will enter the cemetery on this day.

They are either in their waning years or in their prime.

What remains unchanged is that they have a heart that loves Konoha.

Shinobi, who died in order to protect their homeland, are heroes in the hearts of Konoha’s villagers.

It’s just that the word ‘Hero’ has always represented some kind of sorrow.

On the day of the funeral, Tsunade personally lead it, and Sandaime Hokage also appeared to make a speech.

When it comes to prestige, Tsunade is still far behind Sandaime Hokage.

After all, Sandaime Hokage has been around for more than twenty years, and many Shinobi grew up watching him.

Sandaime Hokage’s words may be more able to appease these people.

It’s raining, just like everyone’s mood.

Naruto and Sasuke are also among the crowd.

This is the second time they have attended the funeral, but the feeling is completely different from the first.

At that time, they were young and didn't know what a bond was.

It was also at that time that Iruka told Naruto why people risked their lives for others.

This time, Naruto and Sasuke thought more deeply.

War is absolutely something that should not exist.

Especially when he had just bid farewell to his parents, Naruto had more emotions in his heart.

‘What is life in the end?’ Naruto's unsmart head began to think about this question.

Kakashi pushed the wheelchair and slowly walked into the cemetery.

The one sitting on the wheelchair is none other than Guy.

After opening Eighth Gate, Guy’s injury was healed by Naruto, but it will take a while to recover completely.

Therefore, today, he can only rely on a wheelchair to move.

This is a kind of torture for Guy, who has always been unable to stop.

But he had no other choice.

Because he knew that if you are injured, you need to rest.

Obito did not come today.

Because he was not fit to be here.

Maybe he came secretly, but no one knows.

Guy in the wheelchair was a little quiet, not like the usual him at all.

But Kakashi didn't find it strange at all.

Although Guy usually couldn’t read the mood, he is still very serious on occasions like funerals.

The rain is still falling, making people’s mood a little down.

Guy suddenly started to talk: "Kakashi."

"Huh?"

Kakashi is somewhat startled.

“Remember what I said at the funeral of Yondaime-sama?”

Guy’s words pulled Kakashi's memory back to seventeen years ago.

On that day, he had just crossed over.

The sadness brought by the fusion of memories is something he unable to forget even now.

At that time, Guy also made his vows.

"I remember that you said you want to die like a hero."

When Guy heard this, he showed a wide smile, showing his glittering white teeth.

"Yeah, I thought at the time that it would be great if I could die like a hero and make everyone miss myself. It is precisely because of this that youth has meaning."

Guy quietly said and he seems to be a little different from the usual.

Kakashi listened silently and didn't speak.

"My father left me after protecting me. He proved the power of the Eight Gates Technique and proved that he is not a trash. That kind of Spirit has always inspired me. I frantically trained the Eight Gates Technique, hoping that one day, I will also do something like my father, opening the last gate of life for the things you protect."

"Guy, you did it." Kakashi said softly.

"Yeah, I did it. After the Eight Gates Technique ended, at the last moment of my life, what I had in my heart was just relief, and there was no fear of death."

Speaking of this, Guy showed an even more dazzling smile.

"Kakashi, I think I can fully understand my father's feeling at that time. There was never fear in his heart, only hope."

"Duy-san's youthful flame has been passed onto you. Now, you also passed on the flame of your youth to Lee, right?" Kakashi said with a smile.

"Not bad! Kakashi, do you know the secret of inheriting this youthful flame?"

Guy said, suddenly showing a mysterious smile.

Kakashi was a little puzzled and asked: "What is it?"

"Haha, it’s this!"

Guy said while taking out the tight green jumpsuit from his pocket.

Seeing this, three black lines appeared on Kakashi's face immediately.

“This garment perfectly achieves excellent ventilation and moisturizing properties. It is the ultimate suit, and only with wearing this that someone can perfectly inherit the flame of youth! Lee is wearing this suit and inherits my flame of youth. And, you should realize that Neji and Tenten are listless because they don't wear them. Kakashi, do you want a set?"

Kakashi put his hand on his forehead upon hearing this.

"I refuse."

"Ah! What a shame. Kakashi, after you put on your clothes, walking on the street will definitely increase the rate of people seeing you!"

‘That is true. It's just that the look they give won’t be look of admiration, but a look when looking at a fool.’

Thinking of such thing, Kakashi can’t help but shudder.

"Kakashi! Don't go, I plan to promote it in the village. You can also recommend it for me at that time."

Kakashi held the white flower alone and placed it at the Memorial Stone, completely ignoring Guy behind him.

‘This guy is always making me shudder.’

‘Even after so many years, I am still not completely used to it.’

Seeing the familiar names on the Memorial Stone, Kakashi stretched out his right hand and stroked it gently.

"Tou-san, Kaa-san, Rin, Minato-sensei, Kushina-nee, everything is over. You can rest at ease."

The light rain gradually dissipated.

The people who attended the funeral also faded away.

The cemetery, which was originally crowded, fell into a strange silence in an instant.

At this time, a figure walked in slowly.

A tall and straight figure, wearing a black robe, and an Anbu’s mask.

The man took off his mask, revealing the face under the mask.

His right face has strange scars, but his left face is as clean as a mirror.

His slender right hand slowly rose and gently stroked a name on the Memorial Stone

That feeling is like touching the face of a lover.

"Rin, I am back. I’m sorry that I am late."

At this time, a drop of rain fell from the sky that had just cleared, and it happened to fall on Obito's left cheek.

Obito froze for a moment, and touched the drop of rain with his left hand.

A warm smile gradually appeared on his face.

"Thank you, Rin..."
